Vanessa Gilles in the spotlight during the reopening of the Dôme
The Dome — the largest inflatable school sports dome in Canada — officially reopened its doors to students after several months of work.
This reopening was marked by a tribute to our former student and international player Vanessa Gilleswho received the Coronation medal of King Charles III. Olympic gold medalist in 2020, she is currently playing with the Bayern de Munich and remains a source of inspiration for students in the sports-studies program.
We would also like to warmly thank Vanessa for her great generosity: she took the time to talk with our young girls who aspire to follow her journey. An inspiring and memorable moment for our entire school community!
